    So tempting. It doesn't help that the company is local

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Exactly what I was thinking for my truck (didn’t know it had already been invented) Thanks for the heads up!

    I like the ingenuity, but that thing will bounce all over the place going down the road.

    Doesn't a "trailer", by definition, have wheels?

    my first thought....would be a pain in the ass trying to get that hitch in the receiver unless on perfectly level ground.

    Cool concept. Not cool enough for wannabe overlanders here though. They should make one that mounts to a roof. lol

    I watched with the video muted. Did they show all the profanity from trying to get it in the receiver or did they beep it out?

    No profanity and I missed the part where they show it connecting to the hitch :confused:. Cool idea but to small for the wife, the two kids and me.

    Looks as if it might put a lot of unusual stress on the frame/hitch.

    If you drive on flat, level ground that would probably be ok. It’s going to have a lot of stress out on it hanging off the end of a truck and the departure angle is really, really bad. In their video it almost scrapes the ground just pulling into a normal parking garage.

    I'm gonna guess its to adjust the hitch height for connecting and disconnecting.

    Buy (2) of these, mount one in the back and one in a front mounted hitch. Then add a periscope for driving.
